Ja'far al-Sadiq said: Lips in a dream are interpreted as children. The upper lip signifies a son and the lower lip a daughter.
Seeing something good or bad in them is a sign of good or bad befalling one's children.
Seeing one's lips thick signifies that one's children will be healthy and robust, and seeing thin lips signifies that they will be weak and frail. Sometimes seeing the lips is interpreted as follows: a) blessing, b) knowledge, c) guidance, d) joy, e) happiness and relief.
Seeing the lips is a sign of the help of a man in whom the dreamer takes pride, of eloquence, or of a friend through whom the dreamer is honored.
Seeing the lower lip is better and more excellent than seeing the upper lip. Lips seen in a dream are also interpreted as a spouse, children, and relatives.
Seeing pain and aching in one's lips signifies trouble in the affairs of one's friends and companions. If a person sees his upper lip come away from its place, it signifies the loss of blessing and power.
Seeing one's lower lip come away is a sign of one's wife's death. Kirmani said: Seeing both lips fallen from their place is a calamity on the father's and mother's side. Sometimes this dream signifies that the dreamer is a talebearer.
Seeing ugliness and deficiency in one's lips is a sign of sorrow, grief, and distress.
Seeing one's two lips stuck together and unable to open signifies that one's affairs will be tied up and run into difficulties. Thinness and redness seen in the lips signify proper speech, the right path, and that what one eats and drinks will be clean and pleasant. If a sick man sees his lips turn black or blue, it is a sign that his appointed time is near. Al-Nabulsi said: "The lips seen in a dream are a man's strength, adornment, and close relatives. The plural of "shafa" (lip) is "shifah". For this reason, the lip signifies recovery from illness, deliverance from the grief and insults of an envious person, and news that heals the ailments of the heart. Lips sometimes signify doorkeepers, servants, watchmen, doors, and locks; and sometimes knowledge, guidance, eating, drinking, joy, grief, and keeping secrets."
Seeing on the lip the needle-made tattoo called "dakk" is not interpreted as goodness and good fortune. If a woman sees a mole on her lip, it signifies honor and distinction. If a man sees a mole on the lip, it is interpreted as abundant wealth.
